So many women in menopause are stuck

because they're listening to advice from people

who only know what worked for their body — not yours.

In this episode, I explain why you should

never blindly follow fat loss advice from your in-shape

menopausal friends, influencers, or anyone who

doesn't understand your real physiology.

We talk about:

• The influencer trap

• Why restriction never works long term

• Why "just cut alcohol" is lazy advice

• The difference between a coach vs. someone who just got results once

• Why individualized menopause fat loss coaching matters

If you're serious about fat loss in menopause

without burning out your hormones, your metabolism,

and your sanity — this will hit home.

🚨THE BERBERINE MISTAKE YOU

DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE MAKING🚨

Ladies… stop sabotaging your insulin sensitivity because you "forgot" your berberine before a meal.

Berberine STILL works if you take it within 60 minutes AFTER eating — you do NOT need to throw your whole day away. 🙅‍♀️⏱️

Most people miss a dose → say "fck it"* → get inconsistent → never see results.

Here's how to fix it 👇

✔️ Keep a 500mg bottle in your car

✔️ Keep one in your purse

✔️ Keep one in your kitchen

⏰ Set alarms

✔️ Treat it like a vitamin schedule, not a "when I remember" supplement

🌱 Make sure it's phytosome so your gut actually absorbs it

Consistency >>> perfection for insulin resistance, menopausal fat loss, and overall metabolic health. 💪🔥

🍷 "HEALTHY" WINE F*CKING UP YOUR FAT LOSS!?

Ladies, if you're on a fat-loss or hormone-health journey and you love your wine… this is EXACTLY how to choose the cleanest wine without wrecking your metabolism. ⚡

Organic, sulfite-free, additive-free — the marketing is wild, but here's what actually matters:

🌱 + Organic DOES matter.

Bananas + avocados have thick skin so pesticides don't get in.

Grapes? Thin skin → pesticides penetrate the fruit. 🍇

Pesticides are endocrine disruptors that:

🔥 Worsen insulin resistance

🔥 Slow metabolic rate

🔥 Lower GLP-1 & disrupt cortisol

🔥 Increase inflammation + burden your liver

BUT there are tons of European vineyards that use traditional organic practices without labeling it — and many high-altitude Malbecs don't need pesticides at all. 🌄

#️⃣ Sulfite-free?

Mostly bullshit marketing.

It doesn't impact cortisol, calories, metabolism, or insulin — unless you have a true histamine intolerance.

✅ Additive-free? THIS matters.

Additives irritate your gut microbiome → worse inflammation, worse hormone regulation, worse fat metabolism.

Additive-free wines have:

🍬 No added sugar

🍷 Lower ABV (higher ABV slows fat oxidation)

💪 Better next-day recovery

🌿 Cleaner digestion + hormones

So focus on:

🌱 Organic or traditionally grown

✅ Additive-free

⚖ Calories

🍷 ABV

🍇 Grape quality + fermentation process

Ladies, if you're on a fat loss or hormone health journey and thinking about starting testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), this is the BIGGEST mistake I see women make over and over again — and it can completely wreck your hormones, libido, mood, and results.

In this episode, I break down:

• How to tell if your testosterone is actually low

• The difference between low total vs low free testosterone

• The exact lab ranges you need to look for on blood work

• Why low testosterone crushes libido, energy, mood, and stress tolerance

• Why testosterone pellets are one of the WORST options for most women

• How pellets trap you in bad dosing with no ability to adjust

• Safer, smarter ways to approach TRT using creams or injections

• And why consistency matters more than convenience

I also explain why so many women get stuck with side effects when they start TRT the wrong way — and how to avoid becoming one of them.

If you want the fat loss benefits of TRT without hopping on TRT, I also rebuilt my full Amazon Fat Loss Supplement List that you can order straight to your door.

INTERMITTENT FASTING F*CKING UP YOUR CORTISOL!? (#1 Hack) ⚠️🔥

Ladies… if your morning caffeine is spiking the sht* out of your cortisol, THIS is why you're stress eating at night — and why fat loss feels impossible 😩👉

Here's the truth nobody on Instagram is telling you ⬇️

When you slam coffee on an empty stomach:

☕️ ➜ cortisol skyrockets

📉 ➜ blood sugar gets chaotic

🤤 ➜ cravings hit

🧠 ➜ you chase dopamine with food later

… and you think you have no willpower.

But it's literally your physiology — NOT your mindset.

✨ The Fix:

Take 200 mg L-Theanine WITH your caffeine to:

✅ blunt the cortisol spike

✅ smooth out the adrenals

✅ support focus

✅ keep cravings DOWN

OR… the Ferrari version 🚀:

SELANK — a neuropeptide that:

🧘‍♀️ lowers anxiety

🌬️ smooths the stress response

🔄 prevents that cortisol rollercoaster before it starts

Most of you are overstimulated, under-fed in the morning, and running on straight stress chemistry ⚡️

Of course you're raiding the pantry at 8pm — your nervous system is fried 😵‍💫

This isn't about discipline.

This isn't about "trying harder."

This is about structuring your morning so your hormones actually cooperate ☀️✨

I've mapped out the exact morning stack, timing, doses, AND a full daily layout so cravings don't smack you in the face at night 😤🍫

Supplement audit and tracking apps like Subtract AI, Sepco, and other supplement ranking tools are everywhere right now — but are they actually helping your health… or giving you false confidence?

In this episode, I break down the 3 major flaws with supplement auditing apps that most people (and even doctors) overlook — especially if you're dealing with fat loss resistance, hormone imbalance, thyroid issues, HRT, or birth control.

You'll learn:

• Why these apps often miss dangerous drug–supplement interactions

• How they ignore your diet, nutrient intake, and deficiencies

• Why they don't account for dosing, form, or timing (which completely changes how supplements work)

• How they oversimplify complex hormonal health

• Why your "high score" may mean absolutely nothing

• When supplement apps CAN be useful vs when they become harmful

• Why supplements must be personalized to your labs, diet, stress, and hormones

If you're taking a large supplement stack, using HRT or thyroid meds, or trying to lose stubborn fat — this is a MUST-listen before trusting any supplement-tracking app.

Activated charcoal is one of the most misunderstood supplements in the fat loss and hormone health world.

In this episode, I break down exactly what activated charcoal actually does, whether coconut charcoal is better than bamboo, the correct dosing, the best time to take it, and the biggest mistakes that can wreck your meds and supplements if you use it wrong.

Spoiler: Activated charcoal is NOT a daily supplement.

When taken too often, it can strip essential minerals and interfere with critical medications like thyroid meds, HRT, birth control, and fat loss supplements like berberine.

You'll learn:

• Whether coconut charcoal is actually superior

• The ideal dose (500–1,000 mg)

• When to use activated charcoal (hangovers, food poisoning, mold exposure, bloating, travel)

• When NOT to use it

• Why you must leave a 3–4 hour buffer from meds & supplements

• The best time of day to take it

• Capsules vs powders

• How to avoid canceling out your entire supplement stack

If you're on a fat loss journey, hormone health protocol, or taking thyroid meds or HRT, this is critical information you NEED to know before using activated charcoal.

Berberine is one of the most popular supplements for improving insulin sensitivity and supporting fat loss — but many people are using it incorrectly, stacking it unnecessarily, or taking it when they don't actually need it.

In this episode, I break down:

• What insulin resistance really is and how it affects fat storage

• How berberine works like nature's metformin to support blood sugar control

• The correct berberine dosage and timing for best results

• Berberine phytosome vs HCl (and why bioavailability matters)

• The most common berberine mistakes I see with women

• When berberine is helpful — and when it's unnecessary

• How GLP-1 medications and HRT already increase insulin sensitivity

• Why stacking berberine with GLP-1 or HRT can create diminishing returns

• How supplement overlap slows progress and wastes money

• The 4 supplement category framework (metabolic, foundational, hormonal, gut)

You'll also learn how sleep, walking, strength training, cortisol balance, and an anti-inflammatory diet naturally improve insulin sensitivity — and why personalized supplement plans always outperform generic advice.

This episode is for you if you're:

✔ Struggling with insulin resistance

✔ Using berberine for fat loss

✔ On GLP-1 medications

✔ On hormone replacement therapy

✔ Taking a large supplement stack

✔ Feeling unsure about supplement overlap
